foreshores
Where tide reaches
Foreshores are the strips of land along the edge of a body of water, particularly the area between the high and low tide marks on a beach or coast.
The term appears in legal and environmental contexts where ownership or jurisdiction over coastal land matters.
In broader usage, foreshore can refer to any land bordering water, including lakefronts and riverbanks.
Development on the foreshores requires special permits.
